★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 367 reviews · 11 hours Our pick

Review of Phuket’s private Phi Phi day trip, with Maya Bay, snorkeling, private longtail boat, costs, timing, tips, and drawbacks.

“Your was great, islands are absolutely beautiful. It rained the majority of the day which sucked but our guide was amazing about it. Our speed boat had to stop and save another speed boat that ran out of gas and 80% of people on the boat were throwing up from motion sickness because of the waves and having to wait so long in the rain. Trip is not for the weak stomach people so prepare accordingly!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 199 reviews · from $135Best value

Review of the private Damnoen Saduak floating market tour from Bangkok, with boat rides, coconut sugar, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Greetings, The tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. The driver was also very professional and safe. The trip to the Floating Market in the long boat was very fun. Once at the FM, we needed to pay for the paddle boat for a 1/2 ride through the channels. This was also very fun. For the price we paid for the tour, this should have been included and for a longer period.”
